East Faces Cold Halloween Storm; Warmth in West

October 25,2014; 11:01PM,EDT
 
 
Bone-chilling air, rain and even some snow will impact the Great Lakes and Northeast this Halloween, while warmth prevails in the Southwest.

Chilly, Damp and Snowy for the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic
Highs over the Northeast will be 5-10 degrees below average with AccuWeather.com RealFeel® temperatures in the middle 40s to low 50s along the East Coast and mid-Atlantic and the 30s over the Interior Northeast as trick-or-treaters venture out Friday evening.
A strong area of high pressure moving down from Canada will bring a sharp drop in temperatures by the end of next week, but a developing storm may threaten to bring rain and even snow to parts of the region just in time for trick-or-treating.
According to AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Andy Mussoline, "Rain showers could be seen along the I-95 corridor while the interior Northeast could see some wet snowflakes mixing in."
Anyone traveling Friday night should take caution as some roads may be slippery. Trick-or-treaters should consider bringing a sweatshirt or jacket.
While it is certain that chilly air will be in place, there is uncertainty of the timing of a storm system developing off of the mid-Atlantic coast. Be sure to stay tuned to AccuWeather.com for further updates on this storm.
Drier and Cooler for the Southeast
Temperatures will fall to more seasonable values over most of the Southeast while a few rain showers may impact trick-or treaters over central and South Florida.
Warm air during the middle of the week will come to an end as a cold front pushes through the Southeastern states for the end of next week. The front is forecast to move through Florida during the day with a few rain showers.
With the uncertainty of the timing of a storm system off the mid-Atlantic coast, a few showers may impact portions of Tennessee and North Carolina. The remainder of the Southeast is expected to be dry.
